Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Coarse salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar

These cookies were a bit too bland for my taste. I might try adding some spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a bit dry and crumbly.

I had a hard time finding zucchini, so I used carrots instead. The cookies still turned out great!

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
